TYPO3 Distribution (TYPO3 9 LTS is WORK IN PROGRESS)

This repository delivers a full configured, bare metal TYPO3 distribution based on my best practices.

The goal of this package is to give an example of how a TYPO3 project could be configured and structured for real world scenarios. It is updated on a regular basis to reflect the current development of TYPO3 CMS.
